[nspire] nSquirrel : Squirrel programming language on Ti-Nspire

I don't think it was meant to be a squirrel in particular?

Ndless does have relative paths : int enable_relative_paths(char **argv);.

Quite nice work

That creature in the picture doesn't exactly look like a squirrel...?

(Look at the picture, I just used this one for fun.)

This would have saved me quite a bit of time of work on WRPG (I recreated such thing with a custom path resolver). Thanks.

Thanks Jim!

That's Psyduck from Pokémon 1st gen, right?

Yeah, it is.

Oh, I wouldn't know, being less than 20 years old and living sheltered from videogames.

Added a small poll to inquire people's opinion on how to call N2D's keys constants. Note that I can't let you do "RET" only because it's an enumeration constant and is processed compile time (so it'll be faster on the execution side).

Edit : using for now n2dk_ prefix, I finished implementing N2D's key detection functions. Have a try with the lastest script.

I don't know, but while the first option is longer in length, I find that it's easier to figure out what it's for, since key is in the name.

Added support of loadBMP which supports relative paths. No more heavy-arse source files.

Also made me discover an issue in Matref's loadBMP routine. I sent him a ticket about it : non-multiple of 16 (or 8, I dunno) bitmaps won't properly load and will be skewed. Let's wait until he works on it.

FInally gave in and published a new build. In the next days I'll build some kind of small documentation for the n2DLib binding. Note that as Squirrel's standard library is included, you could access files in read/write, you can have threads, coroutines and with N2DLib, acces the screen and the keyboard. I guess you have everything you would need to make some games, haven't you?

What should be included next? Some ndless syscalls?

Woah, that zoom effect is very smooth and fast

. Same for the balls moving around. I'm glad to see this language is running at very fast speed. At least advanced Nspire game programmers now have more choice

Well, according to the poll, I tried to set n2d as prefix for keys, but couldn't as it would override the function table, so the prefix will stay n2dk.

I'm making the doc for the v1.0. I'll also switch from hosting the source in the topic to ticalc (and eventually CW if you want so. Should I also move my small experiment to your download section instead of letting it in the topic? I already told it was a final version.)

Duke "Tape" Eiyeron · April 06, 2016, 11:09:26 PM

Version 1.0.0 released.

Awesome! I'll append this topic to the downloads section as soon as we have a non-game section.

You don't need to do anything other than making sure the first post has a link to v1.0.

Also does it mean that Squirrel for Nspire is 100% complete?
